Hyper-V Client Display Resolution and Installation of Integration Services on VM


1600x1200 is the limit. RDP is your only option to exceed those dimensions.

Make sure after the OS is set up, you have installed the integration services. Tips: Remove Windows Server 2008 installation DVD from VM DVD drive by selcting Media >> DVD Drive >> Eject 
Then select  Action >> Insert Integration Services Setup Disk
Restart the system after completing the installation of Integration Services.

After successful setup of Integration Services:
*You could use mouse to work with VM through "Virtual Machine Connection".
*VM must allow network connectivity as NIC drivers were installed.
*and some typical Hyper-V Windows services running in the guest OS:

Change the display resolution before connecting RDC

click the options
and select the required resolution and then connect to the client. If 1024x768 is selected then client screen resolution will be also the same.

  
check the screen resolution now


if resolution 800x600 is selected the client screen resolution would be 800x600.

This may be the recommended screen resolution for some of the applications to get correct output. So this is how you adjust the resolution of client vm.
